How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tettenhall use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Tettenhall, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common questions in Tettenhall

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through
  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Whole bathroom suites
